transtraxmanParticipantAnother one bites the dust, but rises up again immediately. This begs the question, “when is a bankruptcy a bankruptcy?”
In some countries the continuance of a bankrupt company, even under a different name, number, licence or whatever, is illegal. This is because it is considered an unethical way to avoid paying the company´s debts.“Denmark’s Jet Time declares bankruptcy, new Jettime gets AOC”, (ch-aviation, 22-7-20)

An interesting maneuver.

transtraxmanParticipantI do not know if this case is classified as a bankruptcy. However, it certainly is financial acrobacy to close a company in a high tax area to reopen in a low tax one. “Austria’s Lauda to close, be replaced with new Maltese unit.” (ch-aviation 28-7-20)

…..but Ryanair has been known for dismantling Lauda little by little in the last year.

transtraxmanParticipantNow it is the turn of Smartwings which is the holding vehicle for (mostly charter) operations in Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Hungary and Czechia. The group is headquartered in Prague where it is also the holding company for Czech Airlines (CSA) – the full service airline.
“Smartwings Applies To Prague Court For Creditor Protection”, (Aviation Week, 27-8-20)……….if the group does go belly up will LOT step into Prague to offer long-haul services as it has already done in Budapest? It should be pointed out that CSA has already cut back its long-haul routes, by withdrawing its widebody aircraft from operations, and so only offers European flights.

transtraxmanParticipantThe new Italian airline was founded on 9th October 2020 and will take over the assets of Alitalia. The launch date of the “Newco” has not been announced as yet, however, “Local media are reporting that the new government-owned airline will take off in early 2021.” That means we are actually seeing the last days of the once great Alitalia. After many false funerals the airline is finally giving up the ghost.
